New Hawk n Dove Sign Sprouts on the Hill

Back in Aug. 2011 we learned that the Hawk n Dove at 329 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE had sold to Xavier Cervera and would undergo extensive renovations. Looks like they’re getting close to finishing as a new sign has gone up. Stay tuned.

What are you talking about? They’ve always served two dozen different regional craft beers on tap, offered small plates, and had an airy, open space to bob your head to the latest Deadmau5 single. You just don’t remember.

Wasn’t the original Hawk n’ Dove just a trashy bar where interns went to get hammered and staffers went for bipartisan hookups? Nostalgia’s cool and I think I remember it being a fun dive bar, but let’s not get carried away. Probably needed a closed year just to clean up the crushed political dreams and dried party liquids.

No accouncements about Suna opening tomorrow? I live a block away and couldn’t believe it was right under our noses the whole time! Super-sneaky of them to disguise the location as an Aqua Al 2 expansion (though I’m disappointed that Aqua isn’t adding a second level after all).
